It is 100% vibe coded.

5.3 codex is a quite good coding agent for complex tasks.

Gemini 3 pro is way better than Opus especially for large codebases.

There is already a C library that does realtime ascii rendering using décision trees:

Congratulations for the launch. Actually we launched a similar product recently named Vision Workspace (https://vision.pixlab.io). The general chat niche is quite saturated and practically locked by the major players. I recommend that you focus on one core feature and pivot from there. For us it was the built-in OCR and document query interface inside the UI that initiated the traction and the app is quite popular now in Japan and Malaysia.

I work on the PixLab prompt based photo editor (https://editor.pixlab.io), and it follows exactly what you type with explicit CAPS.

This issue is notorious for BMW cars. You have to notify the ECU each time you install a new battery.

Well, they are relatively easy to spot with the current AI software used to generate them especially if you are dealing on a daily basis with presentation attacks aka deepfakes for facial recognition. FACEIO has already deployed a very powerful model to deter such attacks for the purpose of facial authentication: https://faceio.net/security-best-practice#faceSpoof

Open source GUI libraries are lacking behind the gate locked, closed ones like Adobe. Even Macromedia UI back in the days 20 years ago looks way more appealing and polished than the current open source offering. The only polished open source UI in my opinion is Blender but apparently they have their own rendering engine built from scratch just like Adobe.

Hi HN,

Tiny-dream is designed to be embedded on larger codebases (host programs) with an easy to use C++ API.

The project github is located at: https://github.com/symisc/tiny-dream The C++ API documentation is located at: https://pixlab.io/tiny-dream#cpp-api

The current tensor engine is backed by ncnn with planned transition to ggml in the short period. Nevertheless, in our experimental ggml port, we found out that ggml doesn't quantize well, and is better suited for LLMs than heavy computer vision tasks. You can refer to the roadmap page at https://pixlab.io/tiny-dream#roadmap for more information.
